Joyride

This week on Joyride we cover a bunch of ground.  We go over the new Nissan Z proto reveal.  We talk about Pete's new car.  New Aston Martins.  Kia and Hyundai’s are catching on fire.  Not in a good way.  EV’s sales figures are better percent wise than the rest of the industry.  GM’s new partnership going up in smoke?  Can Honda and GM bring the goods with their new ev models?  Then Pete gushes over a segway go kart that he can’t get behind the wheel of.

This week on Joyride we get an update from Pete on his new car situation.  Is he living the dream or driving a nightmare?  The title says it all.  That’ll be a great pun once you listen to the episode.  Then some news about the next iteration of the toyoburu twins.  Rumor has it they are going to come with an optional turbocharged flat four.  Fingers crossed this could finally bring those cars up enough in power to contend with other cars in that category.  Last, we talk about a Truecar survey.  How cars are helping people cope with Covid-19.

This week on Joyride one of our hosts does what every car enthusiast loves to do.  Buy a new car.  Even if it’s an old car.  What a great story this week and it is one for the history books.  I don’t want to ruin anything in the episode description.  Go grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and enjoy the ride.   

This week we have a special guest.  Brian Anthony Thomas, world’s strongest man.  Well he’s the strongest man in our world.  We get into his car history and how his first car had a very interesting feature.  He shares some of his car dreams and goals.  [email protected] to contact the show.  Check out our website Joyridepod.com.  Follow us on instagram Joyridepod.  Gracias.

This week on Joyride we witness, via the internet, a true motoring miracle.  A Canadian who was born blind underwent an experimental procedure and was finally able to see after 44 years.  What do you do if you love cars and lived your entire life without being able to drive?  You purchase your dream car of course!  We also talk a bit about the Ford F-150 raptor spy shots that showed up this week.  Then we wrap the episode up in high end style talking about the up and coming Motor Enclave.

This week we were stunned by an auction from Bring A Trailer.  On the auction block was a gorgeous 1988 BMW M3.  In a beautiful Zinnoberrot ( go ahead and try to pronounce that )red with a tan interior.  The car was mint and so was the buyer.  When the gavel fell it fetched a whopping two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.  Beautiful yes but it begs the question.  If you had 250k of cash just burning a hole in your pocket, what car or cars would you spend it on?  Pete and Rob came up with their lists.  What would be yours?  After that we talk a bit about the Ford Bronco reveal.  Is Ford’s off road future bright enough to outshine Jeep’s star?

This week we continue to cover Pete’s excitement, worry, glee, and other mixed emotions over the new Bronco as we inch closer to it’s reveal.  Only time will tell if the hype train meets expectations.  Is it a wise move for Ford to directly take on the current off-road champs Jeep?  We’ll see.  The Bronco hype train is in full effect but the Mazda 3’s turbo train is just getting going.  Can Mazda carve out a spot in hot hatch history?  We’d love to know what you all think.  Pete hit’s Rob with a list of this or that questions.  How did Rob’s answers stack up to your own?  One thing is certain.  New BMW’s look horrible.

It's been quite a while since our last episode but we're back.  There's been a few issues on the global and local scale but we've returned in the face of adversity to talk about important issues.  Like saving manual transmissions.  We go over Dodge's 2021 model reveal show.  What models we are excited about from their "new" lineup.  Pete get's all sorts of teased for the new Ford Bronco reveal.  Then we take a turn and look at how the auto industry is dealing with Covid-19.  We had a blast and we will be back next week.  Not riots, housing markets, floods, nor pandemics can stop this 900 hp show.

Adam Hines from Highbank Distillery joins the show again and this time we actually talk about cars.  Promise!  We go over his car history.  As well as a few things that we might find in his garage someday.  Then we lay down the five car garage challenge.  You have five cars for everything you need and with a “reasonable” budget for each car what do you pick?  We would love to hear from some of you what your dream five car garage would be.  Rob is already changing his list.

Our good friend Adam Hines, head distiller for Highbank, joins the show this week.  We spend some time talking old laughs mostly centering on one unfortunate visit to a BP gas station.  Joyride is more than just a podcast about cars and this week we go full send on our love of two wheels.  Be sure to follow us on instagram at Joyridepod to see the epic pictures Adam was talking about featuring one of our hosts.
